when a month + day date appears in a sentence, write it out so that it’s pronounceable, i.e., “The events occurred on August 16th.” “They convened on December 2nd.”

When inclusive years appear in titles, give the full years, i.e.,1752-1796

always repeat the last two digits of inclusive numbers; if more than two digits change, give the whole numbers; in titles, however, years are always given in full, A.D. 873 [abbreviation A.D. precedes year]; the year 640 C.E. But B.C. follows the year, 43 B.C.
